Not that the list of male advantages is short or anything, but I hit the outlet mall with a "sky's the limit, I need five new pairs of jeans" mentality and walked out having spent less than $60.

I had a pair of Eddie Bauers that fit me just fine, looked, well, good enough (I mean, not really a point of perfection for me) and survived laying over at speed on a motorcycle twice. Think they were $23. used to be I'd spend double that on a pair of 501s from Miller's Outpost or whatever. Yay China?

Oh wow that's my dream ! I normally go in a store with jeans covering the walls just to find 1 in my size (never cheap). I'm size 0... The media said I would have it so easy ! I was lied to dammit.

I never thought of Eddie Bauer for jeans however I should look because I've found nice outerwear there. Lucky has been good to me and typically when they start to wear out I can stretch their life by using them as work pants. Finding size 0 pants for landscaping just doesn't happen.
